Evacuation plans. It looks like Venice High School is well on its way to reality. It’s getting a big wow from the local newspapers — performing arts, that’s a big wow. However, one thing that’s never been mentioned is the same facility serving as an evacuation center. It never seems to be discussed. Why shouldn’t it serve as a center? It’s a natural. We’ve got a performing arts center. Why doesn’t it also say shelter? North Port did it, why not Venice? The Venice City Council was led to believe that the grade school would become a center. That never happened. Ninety-five percent of the students and staff have to cross the bridges twice a day. Talk about planning. Only in Venice.
